Soudal-QuickStep CEO Patrick Lefevere has issued a public statement apologising for disparaging comments he made towards women.
The 69-year-old Belgian was last month deemed to have breached the UCI's Code of Ethics and was handed a 20,000CHF fine by the sport's governing body, suspended on condition of a public apology and that he does not commit a similar breach "within the next three years." Lefevere has opted to publicly apologise.
